She has home offices and part of the landscape includes her pride of cats, who also are her therapeutic allies.

"I've served patients in the Washington, D.C. area for nearly four decades, helping men, women and couples resolve conflicts arising from the many changes and transitions they experience -- especially during the "middle years" of adulthood, from one's 30s onward. My holistic perspective integrates psychoanalytic understanding of developmental origins of conflicts with recognizing how social, cultural, gender and career experiences shape our view of ourselves - including our emotional troubles; feelings of limitations about change; our values. All can impede our capacities for positive, loving relationships, growing hidden dimensions of our personalities; and achieving success and meaning in work."

"I am a clinical psychologist practicing in Tysons Corner, Virginia and the Friendship Heights area of Northwest Washington, DC, and treat adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is interactive, hopeful, and supportive. Some of my specialty areas include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and adolescent distress (including parent/teenager communication). I work in a collaborative and flexible manner. I help clients to gain greater insight into their behaviors, thought patterns, and emotional reactions. As self-awareness develops, clients report an increased sense of control over their choices, improved self-worth and, as a result, more rewarding relationships and fulfilling lives."

"Many of us at one time or another need the help of an experienced therapist. Are you spending most days not feeling good, suffering from mood swings, anxiety or depression? Are you or your family/peers concerned about your drinking? Perhaps you are stuck, like "super glue" to old damaging behavior patterns, which can spell doom for a satisfying relationship. Have you reached a point in your life where you need help moving forward? If you have tried everything and nothing has worked, perhaps it's time to see a licensed therapist."

"As a therapist I provide support, feedback, and space to be heard in order to help you address the challenges in your life. Much of my job is to help you think about yourself and your problems in a new way, so that you can get "unstuck".

In this way you have the opportunity to learn more about yourself and be empowered in your continued growth."
